Martin J. Gander

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Jakob Gander is a Swiss mathematician and computer scientist who deals with numerical mathematics and especially numerics of partial differential equations.

Life

Gander studied at the ETH Zurich with a diploma and received his doctorate in 1997 from Stanford University under Andrew Mark Stuart ("Analysis of Parallel Algorithms for Time-Dependent Partial Differential Equations"). He was a professor at McGill University and has been a professor at the University of Geneva since 2004 .

He works in an application-oriented way and dealt with problems of mathematical biology, process manufacturing of semiconductors and in the automotive industry. Among other things, he dealt with the optimization of the Schwarz method (emerged from the alternating method by Hermann Amandus Schwarz , parallelized by Pierre-Louis Lions ), a domain decomposition method that can be easily parallelized and can be used, for example, with the Helmholtz equation .

In 2015 he gave the Gauss lecture . He is co-editor of Computers & Mathematics with Applications .
